Robbing the Sparry Garniture: A 200-Year History of British Mineral Dealers (358 pages)

by Michael P. Cooper

Mineral collectors will be delighted with Robbing the Sparry Garniture, and the fascinating background information provided about the classic mineral specimens found in Britain long ago, and how these discoveries have played pivotal roles in the development of mineral collecting as we know it today. 

Michael P. Cooper has done an great job of tracking down details of the careers of many colorful characters who brought numerous mineral specimens to the cabinets of collectors and museums. Cooper’s volume of research is stunning, and all who are interested in the history of the earth sciences owe him an enormous debt of gratitude.
